Description Hans Überacher 2014-01-13 21:12:23 UTC
I only need to change the NumLock-on-startup setting once a year or so, but EVERY time, I will look for it in the systemsettings and I won't find it. I always have to google for it, just to find out that it's RIGHT THERE on the main screen of systemsettings>input devices>keyboard>hardware, but the layout of that page is such that it's very easy to overlook if you're scanning for "NumLock". 

It's hiding in plain sight.

The title of the setting "NumLock on KDE Startup" is way in the middle, utterly divorced from the radio buttons that toggle the setting. I'm attaching an illustrated screenshot to show what I mean.

I bet my sweet behind that I'm not the only one overlooking the setting. I think this is something that is easy to fix and makes a nice difference.

Whoever reads this and decides to fix it: thank you!
BTW, I'm actually on KDE 4.11.2, which is not in the list to pick.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to systemsettings>input devices>keyboard>hardware
2. Put yourself in the newbie mindset and look for the NumLock on Startup setting.
3. Don't find the NumLock setting :)
Actual Results:  
Not finding the NumLock on Startup setting.

Expected Results:  
Easily finding the NumLock on Startup setting.

Oxygen designers had the idea to center group titles. I am glad someone reported it as a bug. Maybe the decision can be discussed.

The Oxygen UI has been redesigned since this report was opened. The setting name is now right next to its dropdown.
If you still have this issue on an up to date Plasma install, please open a new report. Thanks!
